The goals of the business and the goals of the user are the essential part of content strategy. Strategic content is not only made to improve search traffic and ranking but it is only one of many motives.

Reasons a business has a website:

• An introduction
• A case for the business value proposition
• A means of transacting business and making a sale
• An expression of values and identity

Reasons a user goes to a website:

• Solve a problem
• Fill a need
• Check the credentials of business
• Save time wasted on a phone or with email

The writer has to walk in the shoes of the user to understand what they care about. A choice about story format or wording comes down to behaviors and biases. Behavioral science explains why humans think and act a certain way. These tendencies can be exploited to increase engagement. In addition to clear explanations and a markers that take them along a path to a sale, users need an impulse to buy a product or a service.

Competitive analysis is essential for your content strategy to work. A SWOT analysis of your businesses is a helpful resource for your content writer.
